Hold my {twine} Heart

I really liked how this turned out. I love the natural elements, which you don't always see for Valentine's Day. It seems like most Valentine's Day decorations get kind of cheesy. The asymmetrical layout makes this very sophisticated and fits my style more. 
I used a scrap piece of fabric to hang the heart and add a splash of color. To make the twine heart, I cut a heart shape out of styrofoam and then wound hemp twine around and hot glued in place. Great piece that can be used year round!

    I just went to vote for yours and it won't let me past the word verification thingy. Annoying!

    It was super obvious this was yours!! So of course I voted for this one! Coincidentally it was my favorite anyway. Very much my taste. And I see no reason why this would need to come down after Valentine's!! I'm making one and keeping it up year round!
